1.Standard billfold $30 shipped
-tire levers and standard patch kit(multi tool and glueless patch kits shown in pics are sold out)

Henry - I love it, and I love supporting the creative endeavors of our members. Expect a PM.

First future Model 2 request/idea.....How about one of these that can either fit a tubular or has extra strap/sleeve on the outside for a for tire????

very nice and a bit of color fun

northbend 

That looks really sharp, Henry! PM on it's way..

gomango

I'm in.

I'll think about the color choice tonight.

These are very, very nice.

Might you be contemplating a slightly larger version which can hold a tubular?

Henry III

I'll have to pull a tubular off one of my wheelsets and figure something out. Give me a day or two fab something up and I'll see what you guys think. Thanks for all the support guys! I love this forum and the awesome crew we have here.

I realize there's a lot of options but I like the fact that it's totally custom and who wants something everybody else has?

It's like ordering a sandwich at Subway. lol

1.Pick what color Duck Cloth or Marine Vinyl you want on the outside...
a.Treated with Fjall Raven Greenland wax(beeswax/paraffin) +$2
b.Leave untreated

2.Then choose the Ripstop color for the inside

3. What color mesh for your pocket

4. What color trim. You name it and I'll most likely have it.

5. What color button for the end of the velcro.

6. What color of stitching(check out the photos above. The Grey bag on the Fizik saddle I would call contrasting because the green thread is visible on the trim. Matching is you don't really see it like on the green bag mounted on the Brooks.

So in your PM, if you could just put them in that order(1-5) it'd help out greatly. Sorry if there's too many options. If your unsure send me a photo of the bike you'll be installing it on if you want it to match and well figure something out.

That is so cool but I am so broke. Will be buying one in the future though.

RobbieTunes

I'm in, will figure out what I need, color-wise.
If/when you do a tubular type (and many have tried), I'd be up for one of those, most likely.

Henry,
These are awesome. By my understanding, these are going to be ongoing. Is that correct? Or are you only doing these now?

Henry III

These will be on going and I'm working from home now doing my own thing. Priced $35 for C&V folks but once I get my Etsy store setup they'll be $40 if not a little more to compensate for the added fees. I'll be doing some heat/cold pack, handmade soap and a few other things.

I'm still brainstorming on getting a tubular tire on there without it getting too bulky. I'm thinking of adding another strip of velcro and making them longer so the tire would be mounted outside and the bag would be sandwiched between the saddle and tire. Two strips would keep it from getting floppy also with the added weight. Time to make another template for a another bag style.

These look great. How do they do with a fat 650b tube?

Henry III

I haven't gotten to try anything besides road tubes. I've got a 26x2 tube in the shed I'll try otherwise maybe I'll need to make something for the mtb crowd. I'll need to pick up a 29'er or a tube for 26" fat bike just to cover the bases. lol. It just seems like a lot of mtb folks are tubeless but I'll gave a tube next time I'm out. I've got my Trek Farley to make one for also.

+1!!!Great looking product, and Christmas is coming up. too. I just have to go over all those options and settle on one (or more!). Kudos for some outstanding finding and filling of a need...hope you make a mint, or a MTN.

Henry III

Just finished KonAaron Snake's and Northbend's billfolds today. Quite sharp on their color selections.

Henry

Essthreetee

How about some pictures...to help us see some options.

Henry III

Ask and you shall receive...
KonAaron Snake's billfold. The extra strap above the velcro is for attaching a Planet Bike blinky light to he asked to see if I could add. You could also attach a clip on blinky to the velcro strap but because these tuck up under saddles that it might angle the light too much to be useful. Though with it tucked up that it leaves lot of room to not block a light mounted on your seatpost.
(Tweed outer, Olive inner, Purple trim and Red stitching)

Northbend's billfold
Khaki outer, grey inner, orange trim and orange stitching.

If you look the strap goes inside of the billfold between the inner and outer pieces of material. It's sewn to the outer and then the the two pieces are glued together. It's not just two separate pieces of velcro or one separate strap like seen with most toe strap rolls which could allow it to possibly slide out. Just something I designed when looking at verious tool rolls. I didn't like a bag and strap and wanted them actually attached physically.

Also I made it so each side of the strap goes around each rail and keeps it more planted and doesn't slide around as with just going around both rails. I borrowed the idea from my Topeak bag.

Real nice, Henry.

ciderguy

I love the way these look, and I think the pricing is wonderful for the number of options. Sadly, they wouldn't fit the large tubes my 700cx40 tires require. My biking budget is drained from recent winter commuting clothing purchases. I'll keep this in mind to see how it evolves.

Essthreetee

Henry...is it possible to get an image of the Nutmeg outer? Trying to decide if I want to go Brown with black trim or black with brown trim.

SRFS1

Henry, what is your preferred method for payment. I think I'm going to have to get one for my New Albion.
